A colleague of mine is a very enthusiastic user of Fon in Europe. This is a system of WiFi equipped routers which share the bandwidth securely between the customer who has the device in their home and nearby users: http://blog.tomw.net.au/2008/12/la-fonera-20-linux-wireless-broadband.html It is unfortunate that a WiFi sharing facility was not built into the NBN. That way customers would not need any extra equipment or cabling to use the service. -- Tom Worthington FACS CP, TomW Communications Pty Ltd. t: 0419496150 The Higher Education Whisperer http://blog.highereducationwhisperer.com/ PO Box 13, Belconnen ACT 2617, Australia http://www.tomw.net.au Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation Adjunct Senior Lecturer, Research School of Computer Science, Australian National University http://cs.anu.edu.au/courses/COMP7310/ _______________________________________________ Link mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link
